ard. The results of chemical examination of a syrup mdde 
the same way, I will speak of further on. 
“ During the first week in September, I spent a few days at 
; r . Givens’ repeating the experiments of President Ingersoll. 
he animals that I had to examine were not so badly locoed 
; many of the flock had been, and most of them had begun 
i recover. I noticed a condition of things almost identical 
ith those that are described in the President’s report. Upon 
aking post mortem examinations, I found the following 
mditions : Organs of thorax were normal. In the abdom- 
Lal cavity, I found the stomach filled with a mass of semi- 
igested loco leaves. The liver was normal in appearance ; 
ill bladder filled with a greenish color bile. In the duct, 
inning from the gall bladder to the small intestines, I found 
mass of tape worms {tcenia expansa). The small intestine 
found filled with a mass of these worms, varying in 
>ngth from six inches to five or six feet. The kidneys were 
ormal in size and color, but, upon section I found the pelvis 
lied with a gelatinous material [amyloid degeneration). The 
mscular system was exceedingly flabby and pale in color, 
'he body seemed to be absolutely destitute of fat. 1 he 
rine was normal. The brain showed a slight, serous effusion 
bout the base, and to a slightly greater extent in the region 
f the medulla oblongata. There also was a slight effusion 
ito the abdominal cavity. The only other change that could 
e found in the brain of these sheep was a slight con¬ 
gestion of the arachnoid membrane. About the middle of 
)ctober, I received a letter stating that, if I so desired, I 
ould obtain some fine specimens of locoed horses, on the 
anch of Mr. J. d . Cheatham, at Lake station, on the Ivansas 
Pacific railroad, about one hundred miles southeast of Denver, 
arrived at Lake, Oct. 19th, and at once began my investiga- 
ion. I found several affected horses. Two of these I killed 
>y bleeding, and made careful post morteni examinations upon 
hem. I found the two cases exactly similar, a description of 
)ne answering perfectly for the other. 
“ The first case examined was a sorrel gelding that had 
Deen brought through from d exas. He presented the followi¬ 
ng conditions: Great emaciation; the horse was found 
standing apart from the rest, and could not be observed to 
3e eating, to any appreciable degree ; bowels extremely con¬ 
stipated. The animal apparently had lost all muscular con¬ 
trol. Whenever he moved it was in an irregular manner, as 
if he were intoxicated, and frequently he knuckled over at the 
fetlocks, as if from complete exhaustion. When a motion was 
made at him, he would throw his head upward, and stagger
